Healthengine & Patients Australia: Elevating the Patient Voice
Patients Australia and Healthengine share a strong commitment to putting patients at the heart of healthcare. Together, we co-founded the Australian Healthcare Index (AHI), a landmark national survey capturing the experiences and priorities of more than 10,000 Australians each year. Healthengine also supports our Annual Awards Gala each year as sponsor of the Outstanding Patient Advocate Award.

Working with Patients Australia on the Australian Healthcare Index ensures that the authentic voice of Australian patients is heard. Together we’re creating a powerful evidence base that helps government and industry understand how the health system is performing and where it must improve.
About Healthengine
Healthengine is Australia’s leading consumer healthcare platform, dedicated to making healthcare more accessible, transparent and patient-centred. By connecting Australians with trusted health professionals and services, Healthengine helps people navigate their health with confidence.
Achieving Impact
Healthengine demonstrates its commitment to empowering patients by celebrating individuals who drive change and improve the health system. Supporting the Outstanding Patient Advocate Award each year reinforces the value of strong, visible patient advocacy in building a responsive, patient-centred health system.
Our work on the Australian Healthcare Index provides powerful insights into the challenges patients face and the changes they want to see. Its findings are regularly referenced by the Federal Department of Health, the Minister for Health and Aged Care, and other key sector leaders.
Through this partnership we are:
• Delivering a credible evidence base to inform health policy and advocacy
• Tracking patient experience trends year on year to identify emerging issues early
• Ensuring patient views are included in decision-making at national and sector levels
Together, we make patient voices part of the everyday conversation about improving healthcare.
